The service will integrate Speech and Language Therapy (SaLT), Occupational Therapy (OT), and Physiotherapy (PT), providing a seamless and clinically robust support pathway across health, education, and social care. The proposed service will provide: - Assessment, intervention and review for children and young people aged 0–19 (and up to 25 where applicable) with SEND‑related therapeutic needs. - Speech and Language Therapy, supporting communication needs, social interaction, and dysphagia management (where clinically required). - Occupational Therapy, addressing functional skills, sensory processing needs, and access to education and daily life activities. - Physiotherapy, supporting physical development, motor skills, and non‑acute health conditions requiring specialist PT input. - Joint working with schools, early years settings, and community teams, supporting Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) in accordance with the Children and Families Act 2014. - Integrated delivery that reduces duplication, improves access, and ensures equity of provision across the county. This service is expected to streamline existing therapy pathways by bringing contracts together into a single integrated model, improving consistency, workforce planning, and outcomes for families. Estimated Contract Value: The procurement is expected to exceed the £2 million UK1 threshold, requiring publication of an individual Pipeline Notice in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. Planned Procurement Approach: A competitive procurement will be undertaken in partnership with NHS system partners where appropriate. Key features of the planned approach: - Use of a competitive procedure under the Light Touch Regime, common for therapies and SEND services. - Joint commissioning with health partners to ensure a single, unified service model. - Ensuring uninterrupted service delivery through coordinated mobilisation and workforce transfer. Market Considerations: - Forecasting procurement activity through a Pipeline Notice supports market readiness, especially among SMEs and specialist VCSE therapy providers, who are key participants in SEND therapy frameworks nationally. The integrated model will enable: - Improved recruitment and retention through joint working and shared clinical supervision. - Stronger multidisciplinary collaboration across SaLT, OT and PT. - Better alignment with SEND reforms, EHCP statutory timelines, and local inclusion strategies. - Increased capacity for early intervention, reducing escalation into higher‑cost services. Estimated Procurement Timeline: Tender Notice Publication (UK4): Expected within the next reporting period, in line with the 18‑month visibility requirements for UK1 notices.
